Chuck Most Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I had this old AMT kit kicking around for about a decade, doing a little bit with it here and there. The AMT kit doesn't really build into an accurate '39, but I decided to go that route anyway because all I wanted was a halfway decent shelf model. It is mostly box stock aside from the front axle (from the Rides Magazine '40 Sedan Delivery), wheels and tires (I think they came from a diecast Dodge coin bank) and most of the engine parts. It's far from perfect, but I did get that halfway decent shelf model I was after, and that's one less unbuilt kit on the pile. I'll call it a victory.

oldcarfan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I like it. This kit is on my list of ones to look for the next time I make the three hour trek to the hobby shop in Dallas. Shelf models are the best models! They are the ones that remind us how to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Your two door sedan looks great, I agree that the wheels add a nice touch too. One thing that the kit really has wrong is the windshield wipers. On a 40 the wipers are at the bottom, like the kit and on a 39 the wipers are at the top of the windshield. A few trim pieces vary also. I always look at the wipers to determine a 39 Deluxe from a 40 Standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Very nice, Chuck! Clean, classic rod look. I like the wheels, and the stance is just right. Great work!Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
